Yeah, i agree V, despite the fact that I was the one who I think first said that it seemed like it was always the crap guitarists with all the moey, or whatever I can't remember. Anyway, I understand what you mean, for instance I always play badly when i am in a guitar store, I can never think of anything to play when I have the oppurtunity to test a guitar out, and I am always slightly embarrassed at my lack of ability whenever I come within 3km of a store. Therefore, I guess it is a bit unfair to then bag other people's skills, but you're right, it is sour grapes. I am saving for an american deluxe strat (unless someone here convinces me that I shouldn't), and it is going to take a loooong time, so it hurts whenever I see people who can afford those guitars right away. I heard a guy talking about using this acoustic that he was trying out as his "backup" guitar, and it cost $5000 australian dollars! Yes, I was very jealous, though I shouldn't be I guess, if I get good enough I will be able to buy all the guitars I want mwahahahaha.

I know you can't judge a guitarist, by his playing in a shop, but you can surley recgonize a looser, when you see one and that guy surley was a looser ... so i don't feel bad cause i'm jealous
i also have a friend, who plays as long as i do, but he is the worst player that was ever born on eart, and it's not only mine opinion, and this guy is a rich bastard and he's going to buy a new gibson to himself, while the only thing i can buy is a squier, like the one i already own...

anyway i knew once a nice salesman...
i bought my squier at the shop were he works, and when he found out that i am a deep purple fan he was very nice, and jammed with me for some time... i hope he still works there, cause he's nice enough to give me some advises when i'll buy my next guitar

The shop that I go to the most and steer as much business to as possible rarely has any of the guitars I like. It's the atmosphere, and the people who work there that make it a good shop. I know that if I go in there I'm going to be treated like they're glad to see me and 2/3 of the people who work there have atleast been to my house for dinner. I also know that under no circumstances will they burn me on anything, be it a pick or a top of the line bass.
But most of all, I go in there and the people who work there are interested in not only how I'm doing, but my mom, my dad (who are divorced btw- they aren't picking sides), and my brother too. Ultemately, it's called service.
